STEAM AHEAD Overview
STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics. STEAM AHEAD is our initiative to combine our international academic competitions to educate students and bring them international exposure to possible career choices in these fields.
So, STEAM AHEAD is the first to combine 5 international academic competitions in one location and offer multiple opportunities for students to develop new skills, gain recognition, and win awards.
The PAExS Star winners will be awarded a PAExS Star trophy and certificate plus get inducted into the International Junior Honor Society (IJHS) and win a full scholarship to attend the Young Achievers Leadership Academy (YALA) 2026.
STEAM AHEAD 2025 is brought to you by SIMCC in collaboration with Scholastic Trust Singapore Foundation, Singapore International Children Media (SICM) and our Country Council Partners (CCPs) in 54 countries and territories.
At each STEAM AHEAD event, we will start to promote linkages across the subjects so that it will upskill students and boast their interest in STEAM.
Our goal is to help our students get into professional paths that are future proof. Our society’s demand for technically driven roles is rising and therefore it is crucial that students are encouraged to get qualifications in Math, Science, Technology, Arts and related fields. By getting qualifications that will allow students to work in innovative fields, they are guaranteed to have fulfilling and well-paid professions.
